What PoolPak does
PoolPak, a privately held LLC founded in the early 1980s and headquartered in York, Pennsylvania, designs and manufactures commercial-grade dehumidification systems specifically engineered for indoor aquatic environments (natatoriums). Its product family spans the ComPak® PCP Series (horizontal/vertical configurations, including Low Dew Point and stacked StakPak variants), the next-generation fluid-cooled PPK Series, the ventilation-based Hybrid Series, AquaDry dehumidifiers, and supporting Outdoor Condensers and Dry Coolers. The core technology exploits both sides of the refrigeration cycle, pairing evaporator dehumidification with recovered compressor heat used for air reheat and pool water heating; the PPK Series extends this with a glycol runaround loop that cuts refrigerant charge by up to 85% and achieves COPs near 8 with energy-efficiency ratios above 25. Factory-installed WebSentry® monitoring provides 60-second remote telemetry and control of 100+ functions across every shipped unit.
The company sells exclusively through an indirect B2B channel: a regional sales-representative network, engineering firms, mechanical contractors, and an Online Configurator used at the specification stage. Revenue is generated primarily through hardware sales of dehumidification units, supplemented by a recurring WebSentry monitoring/extended-warranty subscription that begins as a complimentary two-year term, and a coast-to-coast factory-direct service business operated under the Dehumidified Air Services brand. Target customers span commercial/institutional pools, schools and universities, hotels and motels, health and wellness (therapy) facilities, high-end residential pools, and low-dew-point specialty environments such as archives and water treatment centers. The company also maintains a Canadian operation in Saint Laurent, Quebec, serving North America.
